Bonjour du Canada Greta Thunberg symphony .
Such sweet tunes.
Need to have a ringtone of them running at speed
I used to love going to the races back in the 80's. Need to take my son so he can see first hand what his grandfather did.
Dude, you gotta bring back your nightly videos! Those were like therapy to me, ha!
Awesome. Would love to see those bad boys on Superior.
from new zealand. absolutley beautiful wow, thank you 4 sharing.
Thanks for the heads-up, I would love to come and see these speed demons, Cheers from Australia.
What a Rush it must be ! Feels like your going twice as fast in boat
I like the fact that guy who installed the prop had a calibrated elbow. I learned that "skill" in the service.

Good to see the Kiwi's out there going hard as usual.
Those motors are amazing
I like the sound of the Cigar Monster!! A down looooow growl!!

Mega bucks boats, but you still need a block of wood for a prop change😊
Beautiful!
Just Imagine when the World Transforms to all Electric Vehicles We Wil not have too Listen to this Disgusting Beautiful Sound How Sad

lol,,the Lithium Battery Explosion's will be awesome for Boat Racing👍🏼
I would love to see a few 12 cylinder motors. Ferrari or lambo's. The sound alone would give me chills. 👍
Yes!
Hi. What sort of area is Sunny Isles Beach? Thinking of going there this winter for a getaway.
Lots of change in boats and motors since I watched the Gold Cup races many years ago in Lake Washington however the danger is still there.
Top Stuff! Great viewing! Water conditions actually look like “Offshore “ not a flat water.. gotta have ocean swell! 👍👍👍🇦🇺🏴☠️
bonjour magnifique bateaux super vidéos merci de se partage cordialement
I had my boat at the Michigan City Marina for 10 years before moving to FL. Where is on a lift in the back.
I remember living in point Pleasant and seeing the Hennessy and Benihana Grand prix.
How do these boats compare to a ww2 Elco 80foot class Pt boat or patrol torpedo boat with there two 1500hp Packard engines
It Must have been fun fighting the chop of Lake Michigan. One day it can be like glass, then the next day you can have 6 to 10' waves. Not too many cats on Michigan it's deep-haul land for a good reason.

The Xinsurance class 1 MTI runs fixed m6 drives as opposed to torque tubes. Curious to see how they finish the year.

WebSep 30, 2023 · Zip Zap Power brings the best boat racing high speed action from the XInsurance Great Lakes Grand Prix on Lake Michigan in Michigan City, Indiana! Class 1, …
That Pothole Heroes boat @11:18. How does the trim work? Looks like the drives are fixed and I did not see any trim tabs.
The Huski boat seems somewhat Swedish🤠
Woah, what happened to dude on the left @1:00
great 👍
JESUS!!!
they need to Come back to Lake Ontario...
1:35... I thought the guy was installing a propeller onto the dock for a second there.
Вот эта катера я таких ещё не видел форма судна идеальная .
great boats for us!
Lake Michigan?? I wonder if they could be a little more Vague when and where?
Are things faster than a boat with 6 x 400 Mercury outboards?
Sounds like the Drag Stripe
Is this Michigan City, IN? Do they still do the race out of Grand Haven up to Point Betsie and back?

One prop from those boats is worth more than my whole boat and motor.$$$$$$$
dang at 2:03 were still wedging a block of wood and a socket between the $15,000 blade and lower unit to tighten up the shaft nut. I woulda thought it would have been more technical on a $2,000,000 boat

Wow…can’t imagine the $$$$ involved in these boats…my lil crappy 23’ with one 496 ci motor costs a small fortune to own and operate 😂
Nice engines. Any jet drives?
@genefogarty5395
6 ай бұрын
Jet drives are nowhere near as efficient as a prop, so no. Two boats of the same size, weight and HP, the prop boat will be faster. I had a jet boat and loved it, then I got a surface drive prop boat and forgot about the jet, lol.
Me too. 😅😅😅
I'ma need a W 16 for this one with aircraft WW2 style spool the Napier blower n cut down the pistons engine let 30000 to 55000 rpms ride with it 😁 hang on tight
Can't help thinking that if OSHA sees this they will have all those crewmembers in fireproof suits, life jackets, harness, and lifeline...
Can't hide that money. We like our slow moving trains and football here in Clemson. Go Tigers!
what is the exact color of the dfYoung ? Its the most beautifull boat in the world!
*Let the Sunshine In...*
Hy, WHAT MARVELLOUS OFFSHORES.
In cash I could literally afford to buy 2 props, a steering wheel and maybe 2 seats. That's it. lol.
The hobbit turned like as if there was…SQUIRREL…huh what🤪 what🤪🤪

A 'My Boat's louder than your Boat' Competition?

This is music. It's going to be sad when they have to go electric.
Why do the race boats have to start off with their engines in gear?
@dannyt9067
8 ай бұрын
They don’t have a typical transmission that can shift into gear while the engine is running. They use what’s called a “crash box” type trans that is way more reliable but can only shift into gear with engine off.
I've never been able to understand why these boats are so big, don't get me wrong they are awesome, but cmon man, power to weight. They don't even sound turbo'd or supercharged.
What else can be better sounds than theese big V 8 engines....
Glug, glug, keep those oil wells pumping! NO ELECTRICS for me.
Those rich guys can rent the nicest furniture girls for their decks!

Have to, say if these monsters didn’t exist for the pleasure of a very people, the cost of living for many millions would be a lot less.

Care to explain this simplistic statement? Excuse my ignorance but it sounds like you're saying if "MR XINSURANCE" didn't own an offshore racer everything I purchased out of necessity and in my day to day life would cost less??

@@GruvenHaus The money of sponsorship that MrXInsurance seeks and gains, (plus that of F1) goes to a very few people’s personal fun, and increases the prices of everything you require by sucking upwards, instead of providing decent wages.

f outboards lol
